Quoting from Wikipedia -
Wanna Buy a Bridge? is a 1980 compilation album released by Rough Trade Records, a British record label, in the United States. The album was intended to showcase Rough Trade's lineup to an American audience. The album comprises 14 singles by various Rough Trade artists.
The New York Times called the album "the best single introduction to the variety and vitality of British 'underground' rock ... Six of the groups include women, and many of them deal in dissonances and rhythmic displacements, but there the similarities end."
In 2013, Tal Rosenberg wrote in Chicago Reader that Wanna Buy a Bridge? "...is probably best known as one of the finest, if not the finest, collection of British postpunk music." AllMusic's Todd Kristel gave the album 4.5 out of 5 stars, concluding that "Overall this may be the best single-album collection assembled of post-punk music." Another favorable review of the album was written by Robert Christgau, who gave it an A and called it "superb".
